Aakash Chopra, the former Indian cricketer, stepped up to emphasize the remarkable skill present in India’s batting lineup. Remember how Rohit Sharma’s performance was absolutely stellar for India during the 2019 World Cup? Well, Chopra has pumped up the excitement, suggesting that we can anticipate another fantastic show from Rohit Sharma in the World Cup 2023.
The much-anticipated ODI World Cup 2023 is just around the corner, with India proudly hosting the event set to kick off on October 5th. The excitement is building as the tournament draws near, and India is unquestionably considered a strong contender. The hope is high that under the leadership of Captain Rohit Sharma, the team will prepare rigorously and aim to clinch the prestigious World Cup trophy on their home ground.
India boasts an impressive lineup of exceptionally talented players, each capable of leaving a lasting impact on the competition. Cricket stars such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and many others are eagerly striving to maintain their peak performance on the global stage.
In this context, Aakash Chopra, the former Indian opener turned commentator, stepped up to shine a spotlight on the wealth of talent within India’s top batting order. Rohit Sharma’s remarkable performance in the 2019 World Cup earned him much praise, and Chopra’s anticipation for another standout performance from him in October is palpable.
“When we talk about the top three, it seems like who is better than us? Sare jahan se acha Hindustan hamara – you get a feeling like that from within because we have Shubman Gill alongside Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will come after them,” Aakash Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel.
“Rohit Sharma has scored more than 9800 runs. He has scored 30 centuries, has an average of nearly 49, and a strike rate of 90. It’s almost similar in Asia. So you can assume that Rohit Sharma is going to hit you. If he plays all nine matches, he should score two centuries and one daddy hundred as an opener. I am expecting that,” he further added.
It’s interesting to point out that Rohit Sharma has appeared in 244 ODIs for India during his career. Throughout this time, he’s managed to accumulate a total of 9837 runs, exhibiting an incredible average of 48.69 runs per match. Notably, he has achieved the incredible feat of accomplishing 30 centuries in this format. As he leads the squad, there’s no denying that India will significantly depend on his excellent performances in the forthcoming World Cup. The wonderful adventure will continue with a match against Australia in Chennai on October 8th.
